We went and saw LADYHAWK the other night and rather enjoyed it. However, all of the main characters we recognized except for Rutgar Hauer (I hope I'm spelling his name right). He played the old captain of the guard Etienne Navarre. Does anyone out there know anything about him. I've never seen him before (at least as far as I remember). Thanks, Nancy Hill

Correct me (but don't flame me) if I'm wrong, but didn't Rutger Hauer (sp?) play one of the androids in Blade Runner? SJBerry

His great claim to fame (and probably his best role ever) is the leader of the "Replicants" in "Blade Runner" who come back to earth to try and find out if they can live longer than four years. He's also made a couple of real bombs, most notably "The Osterman Weekend" which was a really terrible film, but that was due to the plot, and not the acting.

Rutger Hauer's most notable role in my recollection was as the leader of the replicants in "Blade Runner." (My favourite SF movie.) -- James C Armstrong, Jnr. ihnp4!abnji!nyssa Chap with wings there, five rounds rapid!

I've also seen him Paul Verhouven's (sp) "Soldier of Orange" and "Spetters", Dutch films, of course. He's also been in some other American made films, but I never saw them so I don't remember what they were. -- J.

Someone asked about movies that Rutgr Hauer has been in.
Before he appeared in American movies (Bladerunner,
Nighthawks,etc.), he acted in Dutch films. Two that
I have seen are 'A SOLDIER OF ORANGE', in which he
stars as a leader of the resistance during WWII, and
"SPETTERS', where he has a small role as a motocross
racer.
